                They'll Certainly Not Discard It :: Personalised Cards
            
                Did you know that over two billion greetings cards are bought and sent in the UK every year? Your postman himself will tell you just how many of those special greetings are sent through the mail every day. As a nation we love to spread the love in this way. At Christmas our houses are full of them - they're the measure of our friendships and the expression of love we receive from family members. And we're all familiar with the yearning for cards when our birthday comes around - woe betide he who forgets!

At the same time, just like flowers, cards are only around for a few days and inevitably, they end up on landfill sites or, if you're concerned about the environment, in recycling centres. They fulfill their function of expressing a heartfelt wish, yet we just don't have the storage space to keep them forever. As precious as they are to look back on, sentimentality is just not compatible with our wish to keep minimalist homes. Having said that, if you've received any amount of greetings cards in the past, you're sure to admit that you may just have kept, well, at least one or two special ones maybe your very first Valentine's card? The congratulations card from your mum and dad when you passed your driving test? Or the card from your husband when you gave birth to your baby? The truth is there are cards for some occasions that you just wouldn't be able to part with. 

Wouldn't it be great if you could send a card and know that it will be treasured forever? After all, you spend long enough choosing it! With personalised cards, you're giving a special personal touch that people find irresistible and makes your greeting stand out from the rest, and with a range of personalised cards to suit every occasion, you'll never be unsure which one to choose.

Cards They Won't Discard

Who could possibly throw away a card with their own name on? These days, personalised cards let you write that name wherever you want, with limits being placed only by your own imagination! Gone are the days when you could just put their name on the front of the card. Now with the wonders of technology, their name comes embedded in the image itself. So you can even write their name across the sky! And it doesn't stop there - you can write it in sand on the beach, across a huge banner at a football stadium, even inscribe it on little candy hearts! These personalised cards are for any occasion, so you can really go to town with your imagination, and they are done so cleverly, they'll never believe the image is not for real.

You can use personalised cards to celebrate the most random of occasions. If you've been nagging your husband for weeks to cut the lawn, why not bring a chuckle to his lips by sending him his name on a lawn mower! If your son is off on a diving trip in some exotic location, surprise him with his name written in a shoal of tropical fish! You'll also find a turtle swimming nearby to give him a taste of some of the delights he'll see in the underwater world. Or perhaps you know someone who is going off on an experience day driving a racing car? With personalised cards you can put their name not only on the racing cars themselves but also up on the stand - a real claim to fame image they're certain to want to frame!

Memories to Treasure

Personalised cards are equally great for celebrating the milestones in life, and it's a fact that the cards that celebrate those milestones are the least likely to be discarded. After all, we don't have that many milestones in life. Perhaps we like to treasure keepsakes from our 18th birthday and our 21st. Then there's our engagement, our wedding, and our babies - all moments to be treasured forever. It's official that personalised cards are now around to celebrate all those occasions and more. How about that momentous day when a relative brings home their newborn baby for the first time? You can celebrate with a card that spells out the baby's name in colourful clown-themed letters, just as they would appear on the nursery wall. Or how about that long, yearned for occasion of retirement? If someone at your workplace is approaching retirement, celebrate with a card to put a real smile on their face. An image of a retired executive surrounded by sexy babes in the back of a limo - just as he'd dream it to be!
